In 1927, Werner Heisenberg was in Denmark working at Niels Bohr's research institute in Copenhagen. The two scientists worked closely on theoretical investigations into quantum theory and the nature ...

Werner Heisenberg's high school years were interrupted by World War I, when he had to leave school to help harvest crops in Bavaria. Back in Munich after the war, he volunteered as a messenger for ...

Quantum particles are not really just particles…they are also waves. The word uncertainty is used a lot in quantum mechanics. One school of thought is that this means there's something out there in ...

Devised by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the so-called uncertainty principle states that we cannot accurately know both the position and speed of a particle, such as a photon or ...

The word uncertainty is used a lot in quantum mechanics. One school of thought is that this means there’s something out there in the world that we are uncertain about. But most physicists believe ...

Frayn’s drama finds quantum physics theorists Niels Bohr (David Adkins), Werner Heisenberg (Harry Smith) and Bohr’s wife, Margrethe (Corinna May) reunited in a kind of after-life ether. They reflect ...
